You’re not wrong for wanting love and connection.

You’re not wrong for wanting reciprocity, companionship, intimacy, family, friendship, and connection.
Perhaps when you look back at choices you’ve made and think, “I’ve done so many things wrong. I don’t know if I can be a loving partner. I’ve picked the wrong one so many times.” Point Z shame spirals about past choices are not helpful.
—See to Point A.
Remember who you are.

Remember that you are worthy of love & connection simply because you are alive.
Start there.
Sometimes self-abandonment happens because we leave ourselves out of the equation while trying so hard to maintain connection with everyone else.
We overgive.
We overshare.
We overexplain.
We over-apologize.
Sometimes we let people into our lives before they have earned that level of closeness.
And some people are just tourists.
They’re curious about your life. They want to know the latest. They want to know what happened, what went wrong, what’s happening in your relationship, what’s happening at work.
But curiosity isn’t the same as care.
Access isn’t the same as intimacy.
You don’t have to apologize for your existence.
You don’t have to explain every choice you make.
You don’t have to give more of yourself in order to be worthy of love.
Healthy boundaries help us remember who we are—and help us discover who can actually honor us.
So return.
Again and again.
Return to yourself.
Return to your values.
Return to your truth.
Return to your worthiness. www.olufemis-counseling.com. With warmth,
